Keshishian Scholarship – Scholarships help thousands of New Jersey students pay for college. Meet New Milford High School student Jamilee Morgan, recipient of the 2006 Keshishian Scholarship. This scholarship is named for Barbara Keshishian, who taught math in New Milford for 29 years before becoming the Vice President of NJEA and host of Classroom Close-up.

Teen Arts – A dancer from Lambertville and a jazz professor from Princeton are just two of the many professionals who participate each year in the New Jersey State Teen Arts Festival. Nearly 7,000 New Jersey teens attend this two-day event, which features critiques by professional artists, exhibitions and workshops. Dancer Mark Roxey and Professor Anthony Branker return each year because they get as much as they give in the form of inspiration and encouragement.

Comic Book – The Comic Book Project at Woodbridge Vo-Tech High School in Woodbridge helps students plan, write, design, and publish original comic books. Some of the comic book manuscripts evolve into bilingual comic books (Spanish and English) about the importance of community and civic engagement. At the end of the process, the comic books are posted on www.ComicBookProject.org, featured at a community-based exhibit, and celebrated in a nationally distributed publication.

Barnegat Art Show – A local business in Toms River supports art students from Barnegat High School by hosting a show featuring their art work. Parents and the community visit Accents by Narcissus at the Seacourt Pavilion to view the student work.
